INTRODUCTION
A motorcycle is the common vehicle use for different purposes; it would be for
riding. Owning a motorcycle does not only give joy of riding in an open air, it also
offers other benefits such as affordability, better fuel efficiency that can save you
money on gas, and easier maintenance. But motorcycle is the number one vehicle that
cause accident on the road and most of the cause is over speeding. According to ZSW
Center for Road Safety over speeding consistently contributes to around 41 percent of
road fatalities and 24 percent of serious injuries each year. This means almost 150
lives lost and 1,270 people seriously injured each year. Over speeding reduces the
ability of the driver to steer safely around curves or objects on the road. According to
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 9,000
people were killed due to a driver speeding in 2018. Several factors contribute to the
increase in drivers speeding on our roads, as noted by the NHTSA. These include
Traffic congestion with traffic increasing on our roads and highways, some drivers
may get frustrated and respond by speeding, passing other cars frequently and
recklessly, and become enraged at whoever they believe impedes their progress.
Running behind schedule Some drivers speed because they are running late for work
appointment. Still, speeding putting other motorists at risk around drivers who are in a
hurry. Ability to be anonymous when you are driving alone in your car, you are
insulated from the rest of the world. This may allow some drivers to develop a sense
of detachment, which can encourage them to feel less constrained and act recklessly
devastating, resulting in severe injuries or even death. If the other motorist is speeding
and crashes into a motorcycle rider, that rider could be ejected from their bike onto the
road. That kind of catastrophic impact could result in serious injuries; All these points
illustrate how speeding can affect motorcycle accidents. If the driver of the motorcycle
is not able to stop in time or have enough room to stop, they can make a mistake by
overcorrecting and causing a crash The researcher wants to lessen the over speeding
accidents by innovating the helmet that help the motorcycle rider to avoid over
Motorcycle Helmet with Voice Warning System. This motorcycle helmet with voice
warning system will tell the rider if he is over speeding informing them to slow down
their speed and it has three warning system, the first warning will occur at the speed of
60kph because 60kph is the maximum speed at the major road, and you can ignore it
when you are on expressways that require the speed of 80kph, and if individuals
reached the speed of 85kph the warning will trigger again to warn you to maintain
your speed at 80kph, and the last warning will trigger at the speed of 100kph. The
researchers will also use Arduino, Hall effect sensor, SD card module, Magnet,
Resistor, connecting wires, PCB, mini-speaker, I2C module for Liquid Crystal Device
3
(LCD) and batteries and helmet for the development of the device. The device weight
is about 1600 grams or 1.59 kilograms. The device also warned the rider if the
connector wire is not connected in the helmet. For the electricity of the device, most of
the riders are riding at daylight that’s why the researcher use solar panel for collecting
energy using the heat of sun and power bank to store the excess supply from the solar
panel. Researchers innovate this kind of device because a lot of people in the
Philippines are using motorcycles in their daily lives, by going to work and getting
back to their home safely, by going to different stores and malls in much safer way.
Safety is the main goal of the researchers in formulating device and in conducting this
study.

lot of people choose it because they can avoid the traffic and it is much cheaper than
the other type of vehicle. It is true that motorcycle can help riders to make
transportation easily, but there are also disadvantages of using motorcycles if they
used it recklessly. According to research finding, 18% of the road accidents are due to
over speeding and it can cause severe damage or death. The primary purpose of this
warning system can lessen the danger of motorcycle riders may face including the fine
a rider might encounter due to over speeding. With this gathered information the
researchers want to develop a device that can help mostly the riders to drive safe and
lessen the accident in the road. Researchers also have warning system if the Hall effect

riding above the speed limit. Besides that, road condition also affects traffic accident,
such as a pothole, speed bump and lack of traffic signs. In the case of a fatality, the
highest proportion of fatalities is 22.4% of the total 145,478 victims occurred in 2011.
Head injury is the main factor of casualties by 70%. Based on these statistics, the role
of a helmet as a head protector must be worn by motorcycle riders and make sure the

system to warn the rider when they meet dangerous factors that risk causing traffic
accident. These factors are when the rider has not worn the helmet and lock the strap

Project Context
The development of Solar-powered Motorcycle Helmet with Voice Warning
System is as follows:
First, the researchers planned and then created a conceptual design to figure the
design of the project. Second the researchers design a system architecture of Solar-
powered Safety Motorcycle Helmet with Voice Warning System. The researchers use
a hall effect sensor to get the RPM (Revolution Per Minute) of the wheel and then
convert it to KPH (Kilometer per Hour). SD card module is also used by the
researchers, to store numerous warning records for the warning system that can
triggers when the rider reached a certain speed limit. An LCD installed on the back of
the helmet to display the speed of the motorcycle. On the back of LCD, researchers
put i2c which has 16 pins, however 4 pins were only used. Next the researchers build a
DIY anti-theft for the helmet that will warns if the helmet is moved or removed from
the motorcycle. Third is the development and creation of codes for the system. The
researchers combine the codes of hall effect sensor, SD card module and LCD. Lastly

device road accidents can be prevented. For participation four point six thousand
eight hundred eighty-six (4.6886) was computed which is strongly agree, this implies
that the respondents are willing to use the device upon development. This means that
with the development of the safety motorcycle helmet the road accidents caused by
weighted mean of the questions under awareness is 4.6895 with the verbal
the total is 4.4693 with the verbal interpretation of effective. And for participation the
total is 4.6886 with the verbal interpretation of strongly agree was computed using the
same method.
